- Mental Health
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘You teach people how to treat you.’ But did you know that making empty threats could be reinforcing a dynamic where you're not taken seriously?

But what happens when we don’t follow through? We signal to others - whether it’s our kids, partner, or colleagues - that there’s no real accountability.
In this episode, I’m teaching you how to break this cycle with 3 simple skills that will help you transform conflict into a catalyst for positive change in your relationships - not a source of strife.
